I'm in the same boat as the OP. I am probably going to drop Service Smart. It doesn't help that I'm 1100 miles away and my property manager is out of the office for a few weeks because of surgery. It also doesn't help that I've lived in condos for the last 30 years and lawn care is greek to me!

Since I'm so far away I like a company that does everything. My property manager says I need weekly mowings in the summer.

I have gotten estimates from Massey, Deans and KB. I find Masseys to be pricey but it does include weekly mowings in the summer. KB's contract is a little confusing to me. I have to call Dean's back because they broke down the Basic Plan with bi-monthly mowings. But, they didn't break down the price witih their Basic Plus Plan or Ultimate plan with weekly mowings in the summer. I haven't gotten a price from Fertigator.

I have to find a company soon or the neighbors will be complaining the grass is too high!
